Verizon must have AGPS technology since many of their phones have VZ NAV available. Are you saying that the only way for the PPC phones to take advantage of this is for verizon to build this into the OS. From talking with Verizon it doesn't look like they are going to be offering the use of the GPS chip in the phones. They are currently working on the VZ NAV for the PPC OS so they are going to want to charge you instead of letting you use TomTom or MS/GOOGLE options. Seems silly since you can bypass this with a $50.00 bluetooth device.

I guess they recently completed this for the BB users so PPC is the last frontier. For now I will use the internal when it works and keep the holux in the car for the times the phone is being finicky.
